tpw 2313 Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks for the detailed bug reports and the kind words everyone, much appreciated. Maybe this mod is crawling out of the swamp towards usability after all. @Robalo - thanks very much for the ASR_AI tips. I will try to integrate them in and as you say, save myself a loop. @jubxxxjub - "just doesn't work" doesn't tell me much. Are units not being suppressed? Are you not seeing debug balls? A bit more info will help me to help you. @Coulum - I think we might need to look at the skill code a bit further, because it seems that a few bullets are rapidly causing unit skills to drop to around the 0.1 mark. Maybe just a simple percentage based drop (ie one bullet drops 5% of a given skill). And a simple percentage based skill regain too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ollem 4 Posted July 6, 2012 @jubxxxjub - "just doesn't work" doesn't tell me much. Are units not being suppressed? Are you not seeing debug balls? A bit more info will help me to help you. The fact MP is not (or better very very limited) working on Dedicated is caused by the delay in bullet detection. I did some more detailed MP testing yesterday and posted the results in fabrizio_T's seperate bDetect thread. The concept itself works, but for Dedicated server some additional work is needed. I do have some ideas which may or may not work: I'll look into this. NOTE: Make sure the current code/PBO is only running on the server, not on any client in case of MP testing.

-Coulum- 35 Posted July 6, 2012 @Coulum - I think we might need to look at the skill code a bit further, because it seems that a few bullets are rapidly causing unit skills to drop to around the 0.1 mark. Maybe just a simple percentage based drop (ie one bullet drops 5% of a given skill). And a simple percentage based skill regain too. Okay I quickly whipped off this. It will drop a units skills By rougly 5% (give or take dependning on the units ability) for every shot. This kind of system will mean that units will be pretty hard to suppress quickly when concerning skill. And high skill units are very hard to suppress. Don't know if thats good or bad. Keep in mind that, with ASR at least, many units like takistani militia will start off with skill close to the "0.1 mark". The min a unit skill can go is 0.05 to prevent ground shooting - which no one has witnessed lately right? I also made it so the amount of info a unit gains about the shooter varies depending on the distance the shooter is to the unit - But personally I prefer just to turn off the reveal part all together, simply because of the way the ai seems to be able to instantaneously pinpoint a muzzleflash after having the slightest bit of reveal/knowsabout.

The ai will start looking up the sky and spin, but this was not due to this suppression mod. Maybe you could try to check on it.

tpw 2313 Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) You must be psychic Coulum. I wrote something similar in my lunch break, but haven't tested it out yet. Units are suppressed by 2.5% per shot, or 5% if there are nearby friendly casualties. Unsuppressed units regain 5% skill per 1.5 sec. Skill decrease is moved off to its own function tpwcas_fnc_decskill, and skill increase to tpwcas_fnc_incskill. It's easy to make changes to these functions. I tried to keep the calculations very simple to keep things fast. Have a look and let me know if this is a useful basis. You're the AI skill magician, I just tried to create a simpler framework. I've generally cleaned the code up too. /* TPWC AI SUPPRESSION Authors: TPW && -Coulum- && fabrizio_T Additional code: Ollem Version: 2.05beta Last modified: 20120706 Requires: CBA, bDetect Disclaimer: Feel free to use and modify this code, on the proviso that you post back changes and improvements so that everyone can benefit from them, and acknowledge the original authors in any derivative works. */ /////////// //VARIABLES /////////// //DELAY BEFORE SUPPRESSION FUNCTIONS START.

orcinus 121 Posted July 6, 2012 One point I forgot to mention - in yesterday's tests I repeatedly got the impression that AI which were behind cover & suppressed get up rather too early after the rate of suppressing fire drops or stops altogether. They seem very sluggish & make too-easy targets, at least for a human. This was strongly in contrast to the behaviour of unsuppressed units at similar distances (all tests were with with TPW_AI_LOS running alongside TPWC_AIS & the latest asr_ai) - they are considerably more dangerous than vanilla. Suggests to me that it might be useful to look at implementing some sort of correlation between skill recovery & return to auto-stance, so they don't get up & just crouch or even stand upright waiting to be shot. I'll run some more tests sometime today with the new scripts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll run some more tests sometime today with the new scripts. Well the way things are at present, units regain their stance between 5 - 10 seconds after suppression stops. And they start regaining their skills 2 - 5 seconds after suppression stops. Basically they should not regain stance without at least a good percentage of their skills back. One thing to consider is that depending on other mods, various FSMs may take over and override crouch/prone. I've seen plenty of heavily suppressed units with yellow/red debug balls standing up, when using ASR_AI. This is the code in tpwcas_fnc_localbullets: _unit setvariable ["tpwcas_skillregain", time + 2 + random 3]; _unit setvariable ["tpwcas_stanceregain", time + 5 + random 5]; It's trivial to extend the amount of time taken until units regain stance. I don't put too much extra calculation into this function because it's called per frame, and we want to keep that smooth. Edited July 6, 2012 by tpw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm - if I understand this correctly, a small proportion of units will regain stance at 5 seconds, yet only just be starting to regain skills. Could calculate the distribution easily, but don't have time currently. Interesting point about asr-ai, I'll retest without it & see if I notice a difference, albeit subjective.

Thanks for the pix. ---------- Post added at 21:30 ---------- Previous post was at 20:57 ---------- If anyone is game, here is a build of 2.05. Changelog: Code cleanup and optimisation. Private variable declarations for each function. Simplified skills modification, will not head to 0 as quickly. Units are more easily suppressed if there are friendly casualties within 20m. Simplified ASR AI skill recognition. bDetect startup hint will not be shown if TPWCAS startup hint is not shown. bDetect 0.67 (modified to allow units to suppress when shooting uphill). I consider this more of a test for a new skill modification framework which Coulum can wave his magic wand over. On the other hand, I tested it a lot this evening and I have yet to see any AI dodginess as reported in earlier versions.

sickboy 13 Posted July 6, 2012 I am thinking about porting this mod into .fsmCan't enjoy PerFrameHandler if you go FSM (at least I don't see how, as the logic running in PerFrame, is the only logic that seems to make sense as FSM).FSM is also scheduled and the FSM scheduler is depending on AI performance, so it exhibits similar issues (e.g timing) as spawned SQF code.

Sorry, what i said wasn't clear. I was thinking about porting suppression routine on .fsm, i think it would suit well. Obviously bullet detection should be still handled by bDetect as it is. Logic would be: bDetect detection event -> spawn of per-unit .fsm handling suppression, if not already existing -> queuing / injecting into .fsm of any further events till some sort of timeout ( so we haven't to deal with spawning / terminating .fsm too frequently ).

orcinus 121 Posted July 6, 2012 If anyone is game, here is a build of 2.05. Tested this just now with same 3 missions as before, 2-4 times each. CBA 1.006pre, TPW_LOS, ASR_ai 1.15.1_test5, same COSLX files. First time I ran "Trial by Fire" my MG kept having bouts of refusing to fire. When I got killed because if that I switched to Flashpoint v114 Podagrsk - played 5 times various weapons including the Mod 0 MG, nary a glitch. "Pinned Down" was no problem either. Went back to Trial by Fire & that went smoothly, so I guess it may have been some random glitch. Will test it again tomorrow, this time also, if I have time, logging average FPS with/without the TPWC_AIS & LOS, then with just one, then the other, then with both. No birdwatching, no strange transitions, AOK apart from the first run of Trial by Fire. Looking good, mate :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fabrizio_t 58 Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) @tpw: had finally the time to take a quick look to latest TPWCAS code, looking good, maybe the debug balls code may be streamlined. A minor hint: In tpwcas_fnc_decskill() you have blocks such as: _newaccuracy = _originalaccuracy - ((_originalaccuracy * _dec) * _shots); ... if (_newaccuracy < tpwcas_minskill) then { _newaccuracy = tpwcas_minskill; }; you can compact them into something like: _newaccuracy = ( _originalaccuracy - ( ( _originalaccuracy * _dec ) * _shots ) ) max tpwcas_minskill; "max" picks the maximum of 2 values: e.g. "1 max 2 = 2", good to set lower bounds, while "min" is the complimentary : e.g. "1 min 2 = 1". --- Finally, a quick'n'dirty candidate function to do debugging seperately, so that workflow may be kept almost debug free. It handles both balloons and some markers to track units and their side on map. Only 1 balloon per-unit created. I hope hot having done mistakes here, please double check. Function spawn a own internal loop, running each 1 seconds. It uses _x getvariable "tpwcas_supstate" as base for balloon color. Usage: call tpwcas_fnc_debug_visual; NOTE: Round markers on map and BLACK balloons mean unit is fleeing. Hope it's useful. // Some visual debug tpwcas_fnc_debug_visual = { private ["_handle"]; _handle = [] spawn { private ["_ball", "_marker", "_level", "_x", "_nul", "_color"]; while { true } do { { if( isNil { _x getVariable "tpwcas_debug_ball" } ) then { _ball = "Sign_sphere25cm_EP1" createvehicle getposatl _x; _ball setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0.99,0.99,0.99,0.7,ca)"]; // white _ball attachTo [_x,[0,0,2]]; _ball hideobject true; if( (side _x) getFriend WEST < 0.6 ) then { _color = "ColorRed"; } else { _color = "ColorBlue"; }; _marker = createMarker[ format["tpwcas_markers_%1", _x], position _x]; _marker setMarkerShape "ICON"; _marker setMarkerType "mil_triangle"; _marker setMarkerColor _color; _x setVariable ["tpwcas_debug_ball", _ball ]; _x setVariable ["tpwcas_debug_marker", _marker ]; } else { _ball = _x getVariable "tpwcas_debug_ball"; _marker = _x getVariable "tpwcas_debug_marker"; }; _marker setMarkerPos (position _x); if( fleeing _x) then { _marker setMarkerType "mil_dot"; } else { _marker setMarkerType "mil_triangle"; _marker setMarkerDir (getDir _x); }; if( !( isNull _x ) && alive _x) then // better to double check for unit being alive ... { _level = _x getvariable ["tpwcas_supstate", 0]; switch ( true ) do { case ( fleeing _x ): { _ball hideobject false; _ball setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0.0,0.0,0.0,0.9,ca)"]; // black }; case ( _level == 0 ): { _ball hideobject true; }; case ( _level == 1 ): { _ball hideobject false; _ball setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0.1,0.9,0.1,0.7,ca)"]; // green }; case ( _level == 2): { _ball hideobject false; _ball setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0.9,0.9,0.1,0.7,ca)"]; //yellow }; case ( _level == 3 ): { _ball hideobject false; _ball setObjectTexture [0,"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0.9,0.1,0.1,0.7,ca)"]; //red }; }; }; } foreach allUnits; { if( !
